Chapter 336 - Harvesting Energy

Chapter 336: Harvesting Energy

“So many enemies!”

Xu Ning followed the voice and came to the front gates. He hid in a loft and observed everything in front of him.

People in two different colored uniforms rushed into the Black Willow Institute.

These people were all arcanists.

Instantly, the Black Willow Institute was full of sounds of battle.

‘It seems that the other party is determined to destroy the Black Willow Institute…’

Xu Ning discovered that the invaders were determined to kill them with no mercy spared.

The people from the Black Willow Institute also retaliated with heavy blows.

‘From the looks of it, the Black Willow Institute probably can’t resist…’

Xu Ning could clearly see that the number of arcanists coming from the opposite side was twice that of the Black Willow Institute.

Moreover, the opposing arcanists were stronger in actual combat.

“Institute Head Fang, let the Black Willow Institute surrender to us and promised to be our servants. Otherwise, we won’t let the Black Willow Institute off!”

Right at this moment, an oppressive voice rang out.

“That’s right, Institute Head Fang, surrender!”

Another voice rang out.

‘Rank four arcanists!’

Xu Ning could sense the true strength of the opposing arcanist from the oppression in their voice.

“You’re too much!”

Another voice came. “The entire Black Willow Institute will rather be destroyed than surrender to you!”

“In that case, let’s fight!”

Three rank four arcanists started fighting.

With thoughts to not implicate their own people, the three of them tacitly walked away from the Black Willow Institute and entered the dense forest.

‘I wonder if Institute Head Fang can defend against their attacks…’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Thump thump thump!

Xu Ning was still observing in the loft when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

‘Are they enemies…’

Xu Ning did not hide.

“Someone is here!”

Two arcanists in gray robes rushed into the loft and saw Xu Ning.

“So he is a servant of the Black Willow Institute!”

The two were a little nervous when they saw Xu Ning, but after seeing Xu Ning’s clothes, they were relieved.

The servants were all mortals, so they were of no threat to them.

“Kill this servant!”

One of them said.

When he said this, his tone was relaxed, as if he was killing a chicken.

“Okay!”

The other arcanist’s palm trembled. After that, a wind blade shot out and was about to cut off Xu Ning’s head.

‘How arrogant…’

Xu Ning was unmoved.

Bang!

Just when the wind blade was about to hit Xu Ning, a wind wall suddenly condensed in front of Xu Ning.

This was Xu Ning’s arcane technique, Wind Barrier.

“What?!”

The two enemies were shocked. “He’s not a servant, he’s an arcanist!”

But it was too late when they finally realized that they had erred.

“Arrow of Corrosion!”

Xu Ning used his other arcane technique.

Puchi! Puchi!

Two black arrows condensed in the air and pierced through their chests.

After the arrows pierced through their chest, their flesh and blood subsequently corroded and they instantly died.

Xu Ning walked forward and searched their bodies. He found some arcanist materials containing energy units and absorbed them directly.

“This can be counted as contributing to the Black Willow Institute, right…”

Xu Ning muttered under his breath and jumped down from the loft.

The situation was chaotic, but it was still an opportunity.

Normally, accumulating energy units step by step was a long process, but in such great chaos, it would be much easier to gather energy units.

Especially when advancing to a higher level required a lot of energy units. Xu Ning wanted to seize this opportunity.

Therefore, Xu Ning took the initiative to either kill or knock off the invaders before seizing their resources.

At the same time, Xu Ning took the opportunity to wander around the Black Willow Institute, harvesting a large number of arcane plants and absorbing their energy.

Xu Ning did not feel guilty about this.

It was not unreasonable for him to receive a reward for helping the Black Willow Institute in this battle.

Moreover, if he didn’t harvest these arcane plants, the enemy would definitely harvest them or destroy them in a fight. All in all, it was just a huge waste if he did not harvest them.

‘I have gathered a lot of energy units. I guess after this battle, I can break through to become a rank four arcanist.’

After defeating another enemy squadron, Xu Ning absorbed some more energy units again.

“Huh?”

Just when he was about to find another target, Xu Ning heard a familiar voice.

“Let go of my junior brother!”

Guan Yue’s voice came from nearby.

Hearing this, Xu Ning didn’t hesitate to go over and check.

Kacha!

As soon as Xu Ning arrived, he saw Shen Hexin’s neck get twisted by an invader.

“Huh?”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Shen Hexin was actually killed facing an invader.

Although Shen Hexin allowed Xu Ning to stay in Black Willow Institute, he only agreed because Xu Ning had bribed him.

Moreover, since then, Shen Hexin no longer took care of Xu Ning. He really regarded Xu Ning as a servant, and he had always been arrogant when ordering him.

Therefore, Xu Ning was not affected by his death.

“Not only do we want to kill your junior brother, but we also want to kill you!”

The invader who killed Shen Hexin sneered and rushed towards Guan Yue.

In addition to him, there was another arcanist by his side. With their strength as rank two arcanists, they attacked Guan Yue at the same time.

Whoosh!

The two invaders clenched their fists, condensing yellow spikes on their fists, and threw them at Guan Yue.

Guan Yue tried to dodge and resist the barrage, but two fists were no match for four hands. Moreover, the strength of the two arcanists was not weaker than hers.

‘Am I going to die here…’

Guan Yue resisted with difficulty, but even then she felt that her life was in great danger.

Puchi! Puchi!

Just when Guan Yue felt that she was about to die, she saw two big holes appear in the chests of the two invaders.

“This…”

Guan Yue was taken aback.

She looked up, wanting to see who had saved her.

“Xu… Xu Ning!”

Guan Yue was shocked.

Not far away, the one that had used arcane techniques to save her was actually Xu Ning, the servant in their courtyard.

‘This kind of powerful corrosive arrow can only be cast by a rank three arcanist!’

Guan Yue was confused.

What was going on? A servant had suddenly become a rank three arcanist.

After Xu Ning rescued Guan Yue, he didn’t say anything else. He just searched the belongings of the two invaders.

The reason why he saved Guan Yue was because Guan Yue had been kind to him and had even helped Xu Ning before.

And now that she was in danger, Xu Ning would not hesitate to help, especially when it was effortless for him.

“Xu Ning, thank you!”

Guan Yue said with a complicated expression.

She did not ask why Xu Ning was here, nor did she ask why Xu Ning was lurking in the Black Willow Institute.

She was a smart person, so she knew that asking Xu Ning these questions was meaningless.

“It was convenient.”

Xu Ning waved his hand.

“The situation at the Black Willow Institute is critical. Do you want to escape?”

Xu Ning asked..
